“If you love anything better than God you are idolaters: if there is anything you would not give up for God it is your idol: if there is anything that you seek with greater fervor than you seek the glory of God, that is your idol, and conversion means a turning from every idol.”
Matthew Henry writes, "The joy of the Lord will arm us against the assaults of our spiritual enemies and put our mouths out of taste for those pleasures with which the tempter baits his hooks." Psalm 115:1, "Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to Your name give glory because of Your lovingkindness, because of Your truth." When my eyes are on Jesus, and my heart is consumed with His word, I won't accept anything less than His very best! Help me, Lord Jesus.

St. Augustine: "Thus does the world forget You, its Creator, and falls in love with what You have created instead of with You."
The problem was never a lack of evidence , 🫶🏼

Your Words are the truth,O Lord. Help me stay grounded in the Truth and not stray away from it.
Your Words lead me to eternal life. The world’s ways lead me to hell.
For me... What are Idols in my life?
